The tricolor and Mahatma Gandhi appear to burst out of MF Husain's oil on canvas titled, Invocation of Peace, the brush strokes painting a story of hope on the canvas from more than half a century ago. The artist's optimism for a nation he believed in is the recurring theme of Husain: The Timeless Modernist, a new exhibition of the works of the modernist master at the DAG gallery in the national capital.
A mammoth 116 works spanning six decades from the 1950s mounted in the exhibition reveal a tireless artist at work on an array of mediums displaying a whole range of artistic expressions and practices. While Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa and Madhuri Dixit become the artist's muse for a series of works, the show traces the long journey of Husain in step with the progress of a new nation.
